Inspirations from family & friendsI often receive inspirational sayings from family & friends who are on the internet, especially Charles.
I hate to send them on & just delete them so I decided to add them here to share with
those who come across my web page. I hope some of them will encourage you as well. Enjoy.

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your
friends know you love them? I was thinking...I could
die today, tomorrow or next week and I wondered if I
had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that
needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Sometimes, "I love you" can heal & bless. Let every
one of your friends know you love them. Even if you
think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at
what those three little words and a smile can do. God
forbid I die tomorrow.....I LOVE YA!!!

Inspiration--Adversity "We've all gone through a time in our lives when we felt the pain of disappointment or failure..."

Achieve Your Goals! inspirational and other misc info including a short article on colon cancer screening. Get your colonoscopy done soon if you are in your 40s or older or have a family history of colon cancer. Don't want those adenoma polyps growing in your intestines! It takes 10-15 years for one to develop into colon cancer. I got rid of mine in my early 40's. It was discovered by accident when searching for the reason for low iron (turned out to be caused by H-pylori-bacteria which is known to cause stomach ulcers). Yes, I advocate for earlier colonoscopies to screen for colon cancer. If I waited until I am in my 50's it wouldn't have been a good thing!

Mystery Flu "Five tense minutes later, out come the doctors
and nurses, crying and hugging one another-some
are even laughing. It's the first time you have
seen anybody laugh in a week, and an old doctor
walks up to you and says, "Thank you, sir.
Your son's blood type is perfect. It's clean,
it is pure, and we can make the vaccine."'

Biblical names are much more than nice sounding syllables. Most names found on the pages of the Holy Scripture reveal the inner character and nature of the one that bears them. The Bible reveals that God has many names and titles. We can better understand who God is when we study His names that are revealed in the Scriptures." Site gives a long list of the names of God & the meanings.

~~~ A Rescuer's Creed ~~~

I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is
deserving in animals.

I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold
their right to a natural death.

I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the
abandoned and tend to them in their last days.

I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that
we walk in each other's paths.

I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and
to the beauty they bestow upon our souls.

I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds
when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them
when they mourn.

I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion
and friend when the time has come.

I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms.

From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion
and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God.
